What Are the Most Common Causes of Injury?
Unintentional personal injury is one of the leading causes of injury and death in the United States. Nationally, unintentional injury is the third leading cause of death, responsible for over 173,040 deaths in 2019.* Common causes of serious injury include:
In Colorado, 49 percent of injury hospitalizations were due to falls, which most commonly happen to those who are 65 and older. Approximately 500 Coloradans from this age group die from falls each year, which is six times more than those who perish in a motor vehicle accident. The costs of these falls are not cheap; on average, the injured person had to stay in the hospital for more than four days at an expense of approximately $32,000.

What Are the Most Common Injuries?
An accident can lead to a wide range of injury to nearly any part of your body. For example, in slip and falls, 35 percent of older citizens sustained a traumatic brain injury and 42 percent sustained a hip or femur fracture. It’s a common affliction among those 65 and older who suffer a fall, and hip fractures account for one-third of the $406 million in hospital costs accrued by this age group due to falls. Common types of injuries we handle include:
The type of injury sustained greatly affects the compensation you should receive, because some can take a long time to heal. Insurance companies will try to offer the lowest amount possible to avoid paying for long-term effects of an injury.
This is why it’s so important to have an experienced Grand Junction personal injury attorney deal with insurance companies and make sure you are fairly compensated. Our team won’t settle for less that what you deserve- at Killian, Davis, Richter & Fredenburg, PC we are always prepared to go to trial if they don’t make a fair offer.
PERSONAL INJURY FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Sometimes it can be difficult knowing how to handle making a claim or understanding Colorado personal injury laws:
When should I file a claim?
Colorado’s statute of limitations on filing a personal injury claim is two years. Colorado operates under the discovery rule, meaning that the clock starts ticking from the time the injury is discovered, not from when it initially occurred.
How can I prove negligence?
Colorado operates under the contributory negligence rule, which means that the person who injured you may file a counter-claim for damages if they believe that you, the injured, were also partially at fault.
When will the other person’s insurance contact me?
Colorado law stipulates that insurance is not allowed to contact you within 30 days of being injured. A release of liability, which is a statement that says you won’t sue the at-fault party for anything else, can’t be obtained by insurance within 30 days either.
